I'm thinking NBC Sports will want us to play Wednesday/Friday/Sunday/Tuesday in games 1-4 in order to have Detroit in Friday night and Sunday afternoon games.
Pretty much called that one haha although I'm sure I'm far from the only one. We got this. Bring it on.
I enjoy the amount of Detroit fans who whined that "Nashville is the worst opponent to get" and still are harboring the delusion that Wings will win in 5...
The reality of the situation is I expect this to play out much like the Ducks series did last year but the Preds win the 7th game instead of the 6th.
Leafs fan here....... Supporting Preds all the way for the Stanley this year. Love the fan base that you guys have and after my beloved Leafs ...Preds would be the team a lot of leafs nation would be rooting for ( Belak FTW ! )
I really hate that we've got the early start on Friday. Managing getting out of work early on a Friday will be near impossible and the drive from the boro to Nashville gets me there around 6:20 on normal days.
and Wings fans who still don't consider a DET-NSH rivalry? They probably think Detroit is a nice place to live too.
I have a feeling that's not going to happen this year. I think Detroit will take 1 of the first two and we will take one in Detroit as well. Preds have failed all 6 times at the Joe in the playoffs. They are due.
We have never won in Detroit and never even been to a game seven. I see both happening this series and us taking it in seven hard fought games! Peks steals a few and radulov is huge!!
I think kostitsyns will be large as well for some reason!
What was our season series vs each other?? Home/road wins/losses??

We've also never played the Wings in the post season where we weren't the #8 seed.

Please explain how it is a rivalry? Predators have never beat the Wings in the playoffs and have finished ahead of Detroit in the standings 1 time. The Predators are Red Wing rivals like the Coyotes are Red Wing rivals. Being in the same division does not automatically = being rivals. Rivalries are bred in the playoffs IMO.
